The internet is *losing it* as Skibidi Toilet, the viral internet phenomenon, makes its highly anticipated (and dreaded) appearance in Fortnite. Fans who have followed this bizarre character’s journey, are reacting with a mix of confusion, excitement, and—of course—memes.
But what’s caught the attention of the gaming community more than anything? Valve’s potential involvement, or lack thereof, in the Skibidi Toilet collab. With Valve trending online and memes flying left and right, some are asking the critical question: will Valve actually do anything about it?
One tweet perfectly sums up the situation:
“Valve has the opportunity to do the funniest thing,”
hinting at the wild potential of legal action. And, honestly, if there’s one thing the internet loves, it’s chaos.
The toilet takes over Fortnite, but what about Valve?
The Skibidi Toilet phenomenon, which began as a quirky video series blending absurd humor and catchy music, has evolved into something much bigger than a meme.
It has now found its way into Fortnite, where players can grab a Skibidi Toilet backbling for their characters. For fans, this crossover is exciting—until you remember that Valve may not be entirely cool with it.
A portion of the fanbase is particularly up in arms about the resemblance between the Skibidi Toilet and Valve’s characters. While Fortnite has welcomed everything from pop culture icons to bananas with faces, the introduction of the Skibidi Toilet has sparked an online debate about whether Valve should sue for copyright infringement.
One tweet captures this perfectly
“Dear Valve, I’m writing you to inform you of a copyright violation within Fortnite. Dafuqboom has been using your characters for merch and now for a Fortnite collab without permission.”
It’s clear that some fans believe this crossover might’ve gone a little too far.
Fan reactions: Should Valve take legal action?
Fan reactions have been all over the place, from laughing about the absurdity of the situation to demanding action from Valve. The conversation has gone from memes to serious calls for copyright protection. A viral tweet stated,
“I need Valve to sue them asap,” while another fan wrote, “Valve can’t sue Fortnite; it’s a generic white guy head.”
Clearly, fans are divided on the matter.
Some are even leaning into the hilarity, forcing themselves to play along:
“Forcing myself to buy the Skibidi toilet backbling because it’s technically Valve,” one user posted. Others, however, are not amused.
“Does Valve just not care?????”
another fan tweeted in frustration, reflecting the anxiety of gamers who fear their favorite developer might stay silent.
But perhaps the most on-point response is this:
“Valve has the opportunity to do the funniest thing,”
referring to the potential legal drama that could ensue if Valve chose to pursue copyright infringement claims. It’s not just about the legality—it’s about the pure entertainment that would come from seeing this situation escalate further.
Valve and the copyright drama behind Skibidi Toilet
The copyright situation around Skibidi Toilet has been murky for a while. Dafuqboom, the creator behind the Skibidi Toilet series, has long been pushing the boundaries of what’s legal and what’s not when it comes to intellectual property.
The Skibidi Toilet character bears more than a passing resemblance to assets from Valve’s Half-Life series, sparking concerns about whether Dafuqboom has crossed a line.
Valve has remained silent on the issue thus far, but with the arrival of Skibidi Toilet in Fortnite, the stakes have never been higher. As more players grab the bizarre backbling and the Skibidi craze continues, all eyes are on Valve to see whether they’ll take action—or if they’ll let the absurdity of this situation slide.
This isn’t the first time Fortnite has been at the center of copyright discussions. The game’s history of collaborations has occasionally led to controversies, but Skibidi Toilet’s strange crossover into the world of gaming has taken things to a new level.
Whether Valve decides to strike back or let it go will be one of the more bizarre moments in gaming history.
Trending
As Skibidi Toilet flushes its way into Fortnite, fans continue to hold their breath, avoiding the stink, waiting to see if Valve will take action. Will they “do the funniest thing ever” and sue, or will this odd collaboration simply fade into the background, much like the odd memes that seemed to have birthed it? One thing’s for sure: the gaming community hasn’t had this much fun with a toilet meme since, well, possibly ever.
